Q1: What are the different types of hair extensions available?
A: The most common types are clip-in, tape-in, sew-in (weave), fusion, micro-link, and halo extensions. Clip-ins are temporary and easy to use, while tape-ins and sew-ins are semi-permanent and require professional application. Choose based on your needs and hair type.
Q2: How do I choose the right hair extensions for my hair type?
A: Consider your hair’s texture, thickness, and color. For fine hair, tape-ins work well as they are lightweight. For thicker hair, sew-ins or clip-ins may be better. Always match the extensions’ color to your natural or dyed hair for a seamless look.
Q3: How long do hair extensions typically last?
A: The lifespan depends on the type and quality. Clip-ins last 6-12 months with proper care, while tape-ins and sew-ins last 6-8 weeks before needing reapplication. High-quality extensions made from real human hair tend to last longer than synthetic ones.
Q4: What is the best way to care for hair extensions?
A: Use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners, avoid over-washing, and detangle gently with a wide-tooth comb. Store clip-ins in a dry, cool place and avoid excessive heat styling or chemical treatments to prolong their life.
Q5: Can I dye or color my hair extensions?
A: Yes, if the extensions are made from 100% human hair, they can be dyed. However, it’s best to consult a professional stylist to avoid damage or uneven coloring. Synthetic extensions cannot be dyed.
